Hello Spring is a feature film about a young student and her journey with creative writing. The film runs for 87 minutes and was shot on location in Nanjing, China. Hello Spring combines live action with hand-drawn animation to create an experimental visual language. The story unfolds in three chapters, and each chapter uses a different visual approach. The color palette shifts from desaturated to vibrant as the student finds her own voice. Adapted from a graphic novel, the film uses comedy to look at education in East Asia and invites viewers of all ages to reflect on learning.
